Uttar Pradesh Winter Deaths

Uttar Pradesh continued to shiver on Sunday, as dense fog and cold wave conditions continued unabated. At least 25 people died since Saturday, taking the death toll due to the extreme cold to 125, officials said.

The cold wave intensified in Uttar Pradesh today with the return of fog and icy winds. In most parts of the state the mercury dipped further and dense fog resulted in poor visibility, hitting both rail and road transport.

At least 31 people have died across Uttar Pradesh due to the intense cold, officials said today.

Three persons were killed in fog- related incidents even as intense cold conditions continued to prevail across Uttra Pradesh today, throwing normal life out of gear.

As thousands confront the Uttar Pradesh winter with flimsy tents and not enough blankets in the refugee camps of Muzaffarnagar, a senior official in the state government believes the dropping temperature is no big deal. "Nobody dies of the cold; if people did, then nobody would survive in Siberia," said AK Gupta, one of the most senior bureaucrats ...

The Winter Session of Parliament had a stormy start with first working today being washed out due to protests over controversial 2G report of the JPC, death of children in Muzaffarnagar relief camps, price rise and Telangana.

Cold wave like conditions claimed nine more lives across Uttar Pradesh since Monday, bringing the toll this winter to 92.

The cold wave sweeping large parts of Uttar Pradesh over the past three days has claimed the lives of 65 people so far. According to an official source, "most of the dead were pavement or slum dwellers, with very little or virtually no woolens to protect them from the biting chill".
